Parents of premature babies should seek support

When Oran was born at 25 weeks, his mum received invaluable help from a charity which supports families of premature babies, says Ailin Quinlan 

ORAN FOY has encountered more challenges in his first six months than most of us would face in a lifetime.

At nearly seven months old, the Edenderry, Co Offaly boy has been on a life support machine, undergone numerous blood transfusions, has a heart monitor, an oxygen generator to help him breathe, and a sleep apnoea monitor.
